it would be very dangerous precedent to be setting. >> fredericka, i thought what john mccain said was important and telling for a couple of reasons. number one, he has been somebody who wanted aggressive action by the united states with regard to syria and even he is skeptical about this authorization vote because he doesn't think maybe it goes far enough. that is what the administration is dealing with, people who don't want go in maybe at all and those who don't think this goes far enough. the second thing and maybe the most telling thing he said is that he is concerned about congress not voting to help the president effectively and voting down something that could embarrass not just the president but more importantly the united states on the world stage. that, i think, tells you a lot. if he -- if he gets on board with this, he will be a very important player in lobbying particularly republicans who might not be sure whether they'll vote on this. >> dana bash, thank you so much for that on capitol hill. keep us posted. >> the u.s. military is ready and has been for a while now. now
